ANOTHER VICTORY 6IVES READILY T0 NEW CRURCH Congregation Willingly Answers an Urgent Appeal. Bishop Hamilton Solemnly Dedicates House of Worship. —_— The new Hamilton Methodist Episcopal Church was dedicated last night by Bishop J. W. Hamilton, assisted by the pastor, the Rey. C. O. Oxnam, and the Rev. Dr. Case. The present edifice, which is situated at Waller and Belvidere streets, near Golden Gate Park, is a tem- porary structure and is the first of its kind to be erected in the city, belng con- structed In such a manner that by the removal of bolts it can be readily taken to pleces and can just as easily be rebuut. The site consists of three plats of land, purchased for §7500. That amount has been pald and £3000 more was at the dis- posal of the trustees on condition that they raise an additional $1000 yesterday. At the morning, afternoon and evening services the offerings of the congregation even exceeded the thousand dollars, the sum subscribed being $1016. There was great rejoicing at the result and Bishop Hamilton, who had himself subscribed over $700, performed the dedi- cation with deep thankfulness, for, as he sald in his morning sermon to the con- gregation, the great demand for the new church in the locality testified to the in- crease of worshipers. BISHOP HELPS DIG. & In that locality, said the Bishop. they had been worshiping in a hall for the last eleven months, but now they had their own site, whereon stood their own place of worship, which would in time be replaced by a church that would be built to stand for all time. It was only two weeks ago that it had been determined to build the portable church, and In that time, the Rev. Mr. Oxnam sald, even Bishop Hamilton set | an example to the workingmen who were not doing the work as expeditiously as they might. The Bishop, said Mr. Ox- nam, took off his coat and, with shovel in hand, helped to dig tne ground and hastened on the construction. Bishop Hamilton, said Mr. Oxnam, had his labor rewarded, for he was enabled to dedicate the sacred edifice to the serv- ice of God. The Rev. Dr. E. R. Dille preached at the afternoon service, which was under the auspices of the Epworth League. ONE NOTE OF SADNESS. The temporary church was prettily dec- orated. A great American flag was spread across the platform, the sides of the church and the roof were adorned with green boughs, at the foot of the platform were beautiful flowers and the | illumination was adequate and bright. The temporary Hamilton Church is x50 feet and seats 200 people. Every part of the edifice was crowded at each of the three services and nine new members joined the church during the day. There was but one note of sadness throughout the exercises and that was sounded by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Ox- nam, when he announced the serious, and, it is feared, fatal illness of the president of their board of trustees, John O. Dyer, who had generously given the first $1000 toward the purchase of the land for the church. v Besides the singing of the choir, Mrs. John Jackson, Mrs. Willlam Jenkins and Mr. Jacobs, the blind singer, rendered sacred solos. ———— | DANGEROUS MARAUDER WORKING IN MISSION He Loots Residences by Gaining En- trance to Them With Skele- ton Keys. The residence of David Lane at 2460 | Market street was entered Friday after- noon during the temporary absence of the family, and jewelry to the amount of $100 was obtained. Entrance was gained by opening the front door with a key. The thief evidently did not spend much time in the house and made a hurried search for valuables. He secured two gold watches, a silver watch and some minor articles of jewelry. When Mrs. Lane returned home after two hours’ absence she Was surprised to find the bedroom in disorder and the con- tents of the bureau scattered about the floor. She surmised that the house had been robbed and a further investigation confirmed her suspicions. It is thought that the visit of a neighbor during her absence and the repeated knockings on the door frightened away the tnlef. The rooms of Mrs. Osgood on Seven- teenth street near Church wers entered in a similar way on Thursday and $40 in cash and some jewelry were stolen. This work was evidently done by a prowler who has keys to gain entrance to the apartments he visits. Captain An- derson of the Mission station has detailed Detectives Graham and Fitzgeraid to run down the criminal. ———— ' LINEMEN ANXIOUS TO SETTLE THE STRIKE Will Endeavor to Bring About Com- promise by Submitting Case to Arbitrators.

Knuckles was arrested on a charge of battery and a physician was called to attend to Renard’s Injuries. Knuckles and his wife had been asked by Renard to leave the lodging-house and Knuckles fmmediately attacked Renard. ——————— Late Shipping Intelligence. OVUTSIDE, BOUND IN, MIDNIGHT.

Superintendent Palmer Ex- plains on Behalf of South- ern Pacific. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Aug. 9. While South Berkeleyans and West Berkeleyans and East Berkeleyans have been engaged in a three-cornered fight over the removal of the Southern Pacific Company's freight yards from East Berkeley to South Berkeley that corpora- tion and the Oakland Transit Company, which were supposed to be at loggerheads over a matter of track crossing, have been Iying on their oars waiting developments. That a perfect understanding as to the real situation existed all this time was made manifest to-day when the Oakland Transit Company, which is preparing the way for its new ferry train system along Adeline street, sent a gang of men to lay two sets of crossing tracks at the in- tersection of Adeline street and Shattuck avenue. The gore formed by the intersection of Adeline street and Shattuck avenue is the very place where the Southern Pacific Company wants to have its new freight yards and against which South Berkeley- ans have been protésting. Up to this morning the people of South Berkeley labored under the belief that the Southern Pacific and the Oakland Transit Company were warring glants, clutching at each other's throats in the struggle for advantage. In their efforts to prevent the Southern Pacific’s yards from coming among them the South Berkeleyans sided with the ©akland Transit Consolldated. All were agreed that the Southern Pa- cific's sole object In wanting the yards at Adeline street and Shattuck avenue lay in blocking the ferry trains of the new system. This conviction of the Southern Pa- cific's deep intent kept growing stronger all the time. The Central Improvement Club was formed, protests were made to the Board of Trustees and meetings were held by the angry citizens. It culminated last night in a mass-meeting in Lorin Hall, when speeches were made by the leaders of the protestants. MINDS ARE DISABUSED. But the South Berkeleyans’ minds were disabused this morning when they looked out of their windows and saw the gang of Oakland Transit Consolidated men lay- ing crossings in anticipation of the South- ern Pacific’s coming. Then they remem- bered that through all the agitation the Oakland Transit Consolidated had not helped them, having let them go on mak- ing the best fight they knew how. And finally they concluded that the Oakland Transit Consolldated knew all the time that the Southern Pacific wasn't going to blockade its traffic and that there was an understanding between the two great rail- ‘way companies. Frank P. Wells of 2150 Ward street is one of those who looked out of his win- dow and saw the work going on this morning. He immediately suspected that the Southern Pacific was attempting to gain some advantage and hurried after Street Superintendent Turner and Chief of Police Kerns. His idea was to get an but when the officers said it could not be done on a Sunday he withdrew. Subsequently he learned that it was the Oakland Transit's doings, not the Southern Pa- cific’s. Dr. Woodson Allen of 2117 Ashby ave- nue, one of the speakers at last night's mass meeting, looked on to-day while the work was going on and said he thought there was no use protesting. “I don’'t think the Transit Company would put in that crossing unless it knew what it was about” he sald. ‘“There's an understanding, all right. Well, we'll make trouble for them, you can just bet. There’ll be 2 hot time in the old town Wwhen the trustees grant that franchise.” The location of the freight yards will be decided in two weeks, when Trustee Con- nor returns from a vacation. Three trus- tees—Ryder, Connor and Rickard—are for removal to South Berkeley and three— Ferrier, Hoff and Dowd—against it, with Trustee Staats vndecided. PALMER EXPLAINS. Division Superintendent W. S. Palmer contributed to the controversy to-day by makirg a complete explanation, from the Southern Pacific Company's viewpoint. Mr. Palmer declared there had been mi: representation of the railroad’s position; that the Oakland Transit people had kept out of the fight because they knew that the Southern Pacific had a right of way | at the point, and that to put in the cross- | ing meant that the Transit Company tired of waiting for a settlement of the trouble. Superintendent Palmer said: The Southern Pacific Company’s position has been distorted. All we ever asked for was a franchise to operate our cars over a spur track into the Hunter property. which has been Jaid there for ten years. There is no quarrel between the Oakland Transit people and the company. They knew the track was the and have always figured on crossing the track with their main line up Shattuck avenue. The only reason there was delay in bujld- ing the track crossing was that we had talked about changing the angle of our spur track, | moving it fifty or sixty feet in the event franchise should be granted. The street car people have been walting for things to come 0 a head so they would mot have to tear up their track crossing and lay a new one when we shouldl move the track. RBut they were anxfous to go ahead and complete thelr track laying, and have therefore built a crossing on the lines of the spur as it is latd. To-day they started to install the crossing, and our men are working with them. 3 That is the situation so far as the crossing 1s_concerned. But so far as the agitation over the fras chise goes I am prepared to provh that the Southern Pacific Company has not been treated with good faith. 1In fact, absolute bad faith has been shown in this matter of the removal of the_ freight yards from East Berkeley to Bouth Berkeley. When We were approached by citizens of Berkeley to take the yards out of the center of the town we agreed to move them. and people from the very section where the agitation has been fomented told us there would be absolutely no objection if we bought the lumber mille property. At that time we could not purchase it be- cause the owners gave Hunter, the lumberman, first call. He bought it and’ we purchased a site on the other side of the street. Later, however, to avold friction. we were assured that if we could get the Hunter property all opposition would cease. - MORE LAND PURCHASED. We then made overtures to Hunter and he s0ld us the property. It 18 into this site that the spur track from our main line has been operated for years. To comply with the law we asked the Trustees for a franchise. Then, ' and ot until then, Was an opposition man fackured out of nothing and started. Effort has been made to show that this crossing would be a “death trap”: that property values would be depreciated; that we were invading a home district. Th Who came to us said they would like to the lumber mills out of there and would not rajse & hand to stop us. i We to move the freight vards to meet the desires of the people of Berkeley. We are not compelled {o move them. They are on our own property. But when the way seemed clea for the establishment of a yard at a_suitabl, point we not only to clear the y; out , but to improve that tion with a fine d lepot.

If Patient Survives for Three Days There Will Be» Hope. PSR SRS Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 9. The condition of William D. Eng- lish at ,a late hour to-night was re- ported to be slightly more favorable, but it was admitted by those around him that the chances for his re- covery were slight. Dr. D. D. Crowley, the surgeon In charge of the case, is hope- ful, but that is all. Since the operation on Saturday Mr. English has been in a state of coliapse and everything that was possible has had to be done in order to tide him over the shock. The tempera- ture of the patient has been low; in fact, below normal for the greater part of the time, and it was not until this evening that it arose to a fraction of a degree above the average. On the other hand the pulse has been high and has been in the neighborhood of 140 for the greater part of the time. This is an indication of low vitality and an inability on the part of the system to rally from the shock of the operation. This lack of vi- tality may be accounted for by age and by the former operation, which weakened the system to some extent. Mr. English experiences moments of consclousness, but they are never of very long duration. During these moments he converses with those about him, blt only the attendants and immediate members of his family are permitted to reach his bedside. The hospital where Mr. English rests is besleged by friends c&tem sick man, but the family only have Been admitted. The best that the physiclans will give out is the hope that the patient will survive the usual crisis that follows such an opera- tion, and that he will last for three days. If he passes this perfod they hold out a hope for his recovery. et e BRSP4 F. GOLDMAN IS TAKEN a y INTO CUSTODY AGAIN Salesman Is Held by Police Until He Can Explain Check Transaction. F. Goldman, a traveling salesman, was taken Into custody yesterday afternoon by detectives. Goldman, who hails from New York, was arrested some time ago upon telegraphic advices recelved from Butte, Mént. It was alleged that he passed worthless paper on several firms in that city, but no officer made his ap- pearance to take him back and he was subséquently released. Goldman claims | to have been in New York since that time and arrived in this city several days ago, securing quarters at the Hotel Argyle. Saturday afternoon he visited Roos Bros. and ordered two suits worth $70. He of- fered in payment a draft for $150 on New York, but this was refused and the clothes were sent out C. O. D. Goldman refused to accept them and the package was returned,to the gtore. He approached Sam Nicholls, propri®tor of the hotel, and turned over to him for collection a draft on J. I. Cohn & Co. of New York, whom he claims to represent. Nicholls, becoming suspicious, visited Captain Martin and the arrest followed. The hotelman claims that he paid for a pair of shoes which were sent to Gold- man at the hotel from a local shoe store. The police admit that they have nothing tangible upon which to hold the man, but ' are communicating with the police of other cities to find if he is wanted else- where. Nicholls says the salesman is in- debted to him for $2), which Goldman maintains he can pay. —_————— TRAPSHOOTERS COMPETE UNDER BAD CONDITIONS The Golden G Gun Club held its reg- ular monthly shoot at the Ingleside blue- rock traps yesterday.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 9.—Miss Mamie de Crist, known as the “Diamond Queen,” who was whipped at the State prison farm a few days ago. is in a ser- ious condition. She is hysterical most of the time and shrieks -continually: “Don’t take off my clothes!” and “Don’t hit me again.” It is feared that she can- not recover. The disclosures which have followed the investigation of the whipping are the most shocking that have ever been pub- lished in connection with the penal his- tory of Georgla. It appears that Miss de Crist angered Warden Alagood's wife by complaining about being replaced as hospital stewardess by a negro. Mrs. Alagood told her husband to whip Miss de Crist. The Warden had the woman brought in by the guards and had her upper cloth ing forcibly removed. Then, while Mi: de Crist was held, Alagood struck her forty times on the back with a leather strap, nearly every stroke drawing blood. With her back mangled, Miss de Crist was sent to the fleld to work with ne- groes. She fainted and was found by Su- perintendent Foster, who sent her to the hospital and bitterly denounced the brutality. When Miss de Crist was convicted of securing jewelry at Savannah by forged orders her friends claimed she was in- sane. The officers concerned in the whipping probably will be prosecuted. Citizens here openly say that they should be lynched. ——————— CRIPPLE CREEK MINERS MAY GO ON A STRIKE Smeltermen’s Union: Has Trouble ‘With United States Reduction and Refining Company.
